EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Pennhome, Sherwood, Nottingham, for Ladies of Reduced Fortune" transports us back to the 19th century. The image showcases a remarkable architectural gem nestled in the heart of Nottinghamshire. Designed specifically for women facing financial challenges, this grand structure served as an almshouse and refuge for ladies of reduced fortune. The attention to detail in this print is truly exquisite. Every line and curve meticulously etched by the skilled hands of an English School artist brings forth a sense of elegance and grace. The building itself exudes a timeless beauty with its intricate façade adorned with ornate carvings and delicate balconies. As we delve deeper into the scene, we are drawn to the figures that populate it – women who have sought solace within these walls. Their presence adds a touch of femininity and strength to the composition, reminding us that even in times of hardship, resilience prevails. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 6th, 1878 - a testament to its historical significance. Preserved within private collections until now, this piece allows us to glimpse into both past architecture and societal values. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind this artwork but also reflect on themes such as reduced fortune and solidarity among women during challenging times.
